Technology in our specialty of orthodontics has evolved significantly in the past 10 years. Lower profile braces, new wires that allow teeth to move more efficiently, Invisalign, digital x-rays and lasers are just a few of the new technologies that have been implemented over the past several years.One would argue that the technology that has been most revolutionary over the past 5 years has been lingual braces. Lingual braces are a treatment option where custom made braces are placed on the back of the teeth in order to maximize esthetics. Lingual braces are a great treatment option for teens and adults who want to maximize esthetics while achieving the best result possible.At Davis Orthodontics, we are proud to be the largest provider of Incognito Lingual Braces in the Upstate. Dr. Buddy's expertise with lingual braces is unmatched, and he is excited to provide this great treatment option to his patients.Over the next several months we will be starting a series of blog posts that take an in-depth look in to lingual braces. Some of the topics we will discuss are the types of lingual braces, the technology behind them, costs and insurance, advantages and disadvantages compared to other treatment options and life with lingual braces.
